2 NZR Ec class on the Lyttelton line, February 1929


This 10 km line was New Zealand's second to be electrified. Two of the five electric locomotives were photographed for the Weekly News on the occasion of the inauguration of the new system between Christchurch and the Port of Lyttelton on 21 February 1929. For lots more see the book Railway Electrification in Australia and New Zealand.
